Oak trees have a very long and diverse history. Oak wood is very unique and valuable. Wood has been around for about four hundred million years. The oak tree is a part of the Fagceae family, the Quercus kingdom, the Fagales order, and the Plantae kingdom. There are approximately six hundred different species of oak trees. Northern Oak, White Oak, Black Oak, and Chestnut Oak are just a few examples of the many different species of oak trees. Some oak trees only grow to be shrubs. Others grow to be over a hundred feet tall. The tallest oak tree in the world is one hundred and forty-three feet tall. Oak trees life spans tend to range from two hundred years to four hundred years, but there are always exceptions such as the Jurupa tree. The Jurupa …show more content…
Fires are very dangerous. Fire is not matter, and it is matter in the process of transformation. Fire needs oxygen, heat, and fuel present at one time to form. A fire starts when a fuel such as wood heats to a high temperature. It is usually caused by focused light or friction. When the fuel gets to be about three hundred degrees Fahrenheit, the heat starts decomposing materials and turns them into smoke. The fire will continue to burn and get hotter. Eventually, the fire decomposes too many materials that the fuel can no longer support fire. The fire will begin to die down. When the fire is completely gone, the wood appears black. This is called ash. Ashes are the remaining materials of wood after a fire. Fire has many different classes. The difference between each class is what the fire is burning. Class A is when fire burns wood, paper, cloth, trash, and plastic. These materials can be put out very easily if you catch them burning quickly. Class B includes liquids such as: oil, paint, gasoline, and propane. These materials are very dangerous to burn. If gasoline is on fire, it can possibly cause an explosion. Class C is when fire burns electrical equipment such as house-hold appliances. For example, a Class C fire would be if your oven or microwave began a fire. Class D fires are when combustible metals such as aluminum start a fire. Class K fires are when cooking oils and grease catch on fire. All of the materials listed above are highly flammable and can cause a fire in your home. All of these fires can be prevented by taking simple precautions. First, when you are cooking food never leave the area. Next, never put flammable materials over a stove when cooking. There should always be a fire extinguisher handy. Always remember to never let grease pile up by the stove, and never let a child go by a fire without an adult present. When a fire does occur in
Then more roasting occurred when the crucible was placed into a ceramic triangle for the Bunsen burner to continue its burning for an additional 90 minutes. Once the burning was officially over, the crucible was placed onto a ceramic tile to cool off. Next the charcoal and copper material were poured onto a paper towel and were separated from carefully distinguishing them one from the other. Then comparisons were down through analysis of the copper (II) oxide smelted.
This is believed to be throughout the whole house. The house rapidly went into a free burn. Fueled by the gasoline spread throughout the house, the flames quickly took off to engulf the entire area. After most of the home was in flames, oxygen regulated smoldering began. This will spread a poisonous gas called carbon monoxide throughout the area.
I, myself, can think of many possibilities of what caused the fire. One possibilities could have been that he was making something on the stove and didn’t notice and/or didn’t smell something weird. Another possibility is that the smoke detector
Limited Fire Resistance: Metal trusses, although structurally sound, lack inherent fire resistance. In the Cocoanut Grove Fire, the ignition of flammable materials in the vicinity of the trusses quickly led to their own combustion. As the fire consumed the decorative elements and spread to the metal trusses, the structural integrity of the ceiling was compromised. 2. Rapid Fire Spread: Once the metal trusses became involved in the fire, they facilitated the rapid spread of flames across the nightclub's ceiling.
Once an ash tree has been affected by the Emerald Ash Borer, it on average has between five to seven years left before it will
General Biology/Ecology of Coast Live Oak The coast live oak is commonly referred to as Quercus agrifolia to the scientific community. A brief description of this species is that it belongs to the Oak Family. It is an evergreen tree that can grow from a range of 10 to 25 meters tall. It also has a broad, dense crown and widely spreading branches all around.
Each year, more than 1,100 people are injured and 310 people killed by home electrical fires. These fires result from both large electrical system failures and homeowner errors such as the improper use of extension cords or overloading circuits. Most electrical fires can be avoided if you only take the proper safety precautions. For any other cases, having the proper planning and safety equipment in place can help avoid deaths and injuries. Take a look at the following electrical fires and the lessons that resulted from each.
Fire is not organized. There are no cells, tissues, organs, organ systems in fire. Fire does not use energy from the sun or consume food for sustenance. Yes, fire has the ability to grow and reproduce from a multiplication stance; however, fire does not reproduce biologically by egg or seed. Fire does not adapt to its environment.
To some families passing down antiques or memorabilia down from generation to generation is something that is done with pride, for this family it is not a watch or earrings but instead walnut trees. Specifically, one huge walnut tree nestled close to the family’s house. This poem displays the sacrifices a family with strong roots will make in order to keep a pastime alive. The first thing that can be analyzed about this family is it appears that there are only two members who make the big decisions in the house, the mother and the daughter. It can be assumed that the father has either passed away or is just simply not in the picture anymore.
The Kennesaw State Arboretum is spilt from an upslope and a downslope which was examined to seeing the difference in age and size of the hardwood and pine trees. The variation of age and size can be due to changes in the progressive changes in the tree species over time. This was tested by measuring pine and hardwood trees in 2 different areas of the forest, upslope and downslope, collecting tree data with at least 25cm circumference and 10 ft. tall in 5 different plots of 100 m2. The data describes the hypothesis that if the upslope and downslope parts of the forest differ in age, then the size of the eldest hardwood trees of the upslope and downslope will differ. If the upslope and downslope parts of the forest are different ages, then the forest will differ in proportion of mature hardwood relative to pine.
Chemical compounds that are available to determine are CaCO3, CaCl2, Ca(NO3)2, mgCl2, MgSO4, KCl, HCl, HC2H3O2, KNO3, K2SO4, NaC2H3O2, Na2CO3, NaCl, Na2SO4, HNO3, H2SO4, HNO3, H2SO4, NH4Cl, (NH4)2SO4, K2CO3, 0.1 M AgNO3, 0.2 M BaCl, Mg(s), NaOH, and KOH. To start this experiment, start with the flame test by gathering a Bunsen burner and a Nichrome wire. Connect the Bunsen burner with a rubber tube to a laboratory gas. To prepare solutions for the flame test, weigh out 0.205 gram of Unknown Compound using an analytical balance and mixed it into a 140 mL beaker filled with 20 mL ionized water. Ensure that solid is completely dissolved using a stirring rod.
I have recently read the book "The Great Fire". it is a book about how the great fire started and the stories of how people were affected by it. it was started when a man saw smoke and fire from a barn. he ran to it to save the animals in it. these fires continued due to the drought, which meant days without rain which caused the land to be hot and dry.
he fire was first used by humans in the stone age for lighting up caves and being able to travel in the dark, and we have used it tons of other ways since then. Studies show that the first campfire was found in a old cave called the Wonderwerk Cave at the edge of the Kalahari desert. The fire was used for warmth and to cook prey. You should know how to build a fire so that people can know how to build one if they are going camping or for boy/girl scouts or maybe by the rare occasion you need to for survival in the forest, and for the fact that I know how to build one and I think it's really cool and would like to share my knowledge with others.
Arson is the willful and malicious burning or charring of property. Arson crimes come in many different and questionable forms such as: setting fire to one 's property with the intent on receiving insurance money, individuals may set fire to a building to cover up evidence of another crime. Arson crimes are not limited to just setting buildings ablaze, the crime can be extended to setting fires to a forest or to a boat. Arson laws typically categorize arson as a felonious offense because it has to the potential to be life-threating to others in the area. (Burton, McNiel, & Binder, 2012, p. 2)
The fire burns with an ember and leaves ashes. The fire hazard results from dried vegetation which can easily ignite from a home lone mower or powering of landscaping equipment as well ("Types of Fire Hazards | Sapling.com.). Class B fires are those that involve flammables which can either be in liquid or gas form. They are mostly in petroleum products and greases. The fire normally burns on the surface of the fuel and blankets can best
